Gas stop delivers lifetime lottery payday in Connecticut

Lucky for Life ticket paying twenty five thousand dollars a year sold in West Hartford

West Hartford, CT – A routine stop for fuel has turned into a lifetime payday after a Lucky for Life ticket promising annual payments was sold at a West Hartford gas station, lottery officials confirmed.

The winning Lucky for Life ticket was sold Friday at Turnpike Fuel in West Hartford. The ticket matched the numbers for the game’s second-tier top prize, which pays $25,000 a year for life.

Lucky for Life offers players guaranteed yearly payments rather than a one-time lump sum. Connecticut Lottery officials remind winners to sign the back of their ticket immediately and follow proper claim procedures within the required timeframe.

Lottery officials also note that winning tickets are distributed randomly, and retailers do not know where winning tickets will be sold until prizes are claimed.
